Chapter 326 Betting on Stones (3)
Most of them are jade accessories that have been carved, and there is a wide variety of them.

A shelf in front of the shopkeeper is full of high-quality jade, there are a lot of suet jade and Tian jade, white and green, and the color is very good.

Cheng Zihan separated from Han Jinchen and the others, casually looking at the jade wares here.

There are quite a lot of varieties in this store. In addition to ordinary jade, there are also a small amount of special stones such as jade, agate, and bloodstone.

Although there are many varieties here, and there are quite a few high-grade ones, they still can't catch Cheng Zihan's eyes.

After looking around, a few people left the shop.

The shop owner didn't want to keep them either, probably because there were more people who saw and bought them, and they didn't care about these few customers at all.

South Henan deserves to be the largest jade city in the country. There are so many kinds of jade here!
Cheng Zihan also saw some jade stones that he had never seen before, and his eyes were dazzled.

But it was getting late after all, and with the rush along the way, everyone was hungry and tired, so after looking at the first few shops, they went to find the hotel where they were staying.

The hotel I found was a folk house. The hotels here are basically family hotels converted from folk houses. It is an exquisite courtyard house with a lot of rooms upstairs and downstairs.

Cheng Zihan and the others directly asked for an independent courtyard. There are four rooms here, one for Cheng Hai and Li Lan, one for Cheng Zihan, one for Han Jinchen and Han Yi, and one for Qin Kexiu himself, so it was allocated like this .

After they were settled, several people planned to go out to look for food. As soon as they walked out of the room, they smelled the aroma of food, and Cheng Zihan immediately heard the sound of his stomach calling for help.

The owner of the house where the dinner was prepared for the evening was a very sumptuous dinner.

The owner of the shop is a woman in her 30s, with exquisite appearance, she seems to be a woman with style and enjoyment.

The food is authentic southern Henan cuisine, and the shop owner is very generous, so he prepared a big table.

"Ma'am, thank you very much." Cheng Zihan smiled and sat down, looking at the delicious food in front of him with his index finger moving.

The proprietress was sitting on the side, with a gentle smile on her face. Her skin was very good, as if it was a high-quality jade. It is probably because this is a jade city, and the people here are as warm as jade.

"It's late for you to enter the city. At this time, you can't find a place to eat outside. The jade shop here is open 24 hours a day, but the restaurant closes at seven o'clock." The proprietress smiled and gave Several people explain.

Cheng Zihan is a little puzzled, the jade shops here are not closed and open all night, but why do restaurants close early?

Seeing Cheng Zihan's doubts, the proprietress smiled and explained: "The people here are almost all selling jade wares, and there are very few customers who eat after seven o'clock, so the restaurant owners here are all from one to seven o'clock. Just close the door, and then go to the Jade Street over there to set up a stall to sell jade wares. They sell jade wares for one night, and their income is better than doing business for a day."

It turned out to be the case.

But Cheng Zihan didn't understand. If there were so many people selling jade here, but only a limited number of people came to buy it, how could the business here be so good all year round?

"Boss, is your business so good 360 days a year? When I first came in, I didn't see a few customers picking out jade." Cheng Zihan followed curiously as he attacked the food. The proprietress inquired about the situation in Henan.

When you come here, you must first find the locals to understand something, otherwise you may be cheated at any time.

Naturally, Cheng Zihan and the others were not worried about being tricked, but they didn't want to cause any trouble.

"Of course not. The business here starts in October every year, and April of the next year is the best. From April to October, here is a ghost city. Most of the people in the city go to quarry. When you came, you should have taken the buns outside the airport, right?" The proprietress carefully served Cheng Zihan with vegetables while asking.

Cheng Zihan paused while eating, and then nodded, "Yes, yes."

But she didn't dare to tell the proprietress that they left the driver on the road and ran over by themselves.

"They are all earth dragons here, that is, toubobs. Every driver who rents a car has his own territory, and there are a group of younger brothers under him. If you come here in their car, you must go to them. You can’t go to other places to buy jade on the site. If you are a guest who comes by yourself, there is no such restriction. It doesn’t matter if you can shop casually, but it is very likely that you will be slaughtered by everyone, and you may spend a lot of money. But But I can’t buy any good things. Henan is very unstable, the security here is very poor, there are frequent fights, and murders are not uncommon. Where is the driver who brought you here? Why didn’t you see him with you? The proprietress said, looking around curiously, but she really didn't see the driver, and they just walked in, so they didn't see the car.

"Uh." Cheng Zihan blinked, not knowing how to answer the boss's wife.

Qin Kexiu took over the conversation at this time, "Miss Boss, why don't you come and tell us what you need to pay attention to when buying jade here. This is our first time here, and we don't know much about it."

The handsome guy was really more attractive when he spoke, and the proprietress' attention was immediately attracted by Qin Kexiu, who was becoming more and more charming.

The proprietress roughly distributed the forces in Henan Province to everyone.

The jade market here is divided into three parts, one is free trade, most of the people in this part are outsiders, they have their own guilds and their own forces, and are spontaneously organized by a group of jade merchants who came in from other places .

There is also a jade market established by the Henan government, which is guarded by the government, so the market is relatively stable and safe, and there are no messy people and things in it.

The last one is what the proprietress just said. It is the most chaotic market. It is organized spontaneously by some hooligans. They are divided into small spheres of influence. They each defend their own territory, and there are often fights. Land grabs happen.

Most of the people here are their subordinates, and most of the things bought there are inferior products, but they use violent means to force customers to buy their inferior products under the guise of top quality.

In many cases, what you buy from there is either jade with little water cracking and no cultivation, or a pile of stones.

Even if you buy clear materials, most of them are scraps at the corners, and there are very few good ones. Even if there are good ones, the price will be much higher than the actual market price.
